I just received the complete IA File from New Smyrna Beach regarding my illegal detention by Officers Galt and Beatty.
Over the next week I will be releasing multiple videos and files from this IA File.
Stay Tuned!

For all of the people watching this video and hopefully reading the comments, this is the purpose of doing a 1st amendment audit. Not to get a response from police or private business owners, but to educate. How many times during this interview did you hear the officer say, I thought, I didn't know, I wasn't sure? You better believe, if he still has a job, he won't be making the same mistakes again. Well done Jeff.
maybe only if he thinks a camera is recording him??
This leads one to wonder how many peoples rights have been violated by this cop but they just didn’t make a big deal about it because they don’t know the law?
This cop did not make any mistakes. It was all intentional and it will never be punished, just watch and see.
@@deltalima6703 if someone breaks/violates a law that doesn't mean that it's no longer a mistake. Even with his actions being intentional or not this cop made many mistakes to take those actions. I hope he is punished and I hope he walked away from that interview with more than regret for getting caught in violating someones rights.
Funny I can't use those same excuses, I go to jail..🤣🤣🤣
“I don’t handcuff people and detain them illegally.” Yes, you do and now you have undeniably been caught doing it.
Self proclaimed most professional clown in costume.
How many other times has he detained someone and/or violated other citizens rights? All of his previous arrests and etc needs to be looked at.
Pretty sure he has detained DOZENS illegally.
No no no Peter, you misunderstood. He meant to say I don't illegally cuff and detain ppl ....and get caught
Yes. Yes you do. We have it on 4k video.
"He was being argumentative and defiant." This is how he described an individual that was exercising his lawful and constitutional rights. How sad.
Exactly! Besides, the video proves just how calm Jeff was. I guess stating laws and facts is argumentative and defiant! I am damn tired of stupid cops!
But, But, But he wasn't COOPERATING!!! 🥵
He was'nt allowing me to violate his rights I was confused. What a Tool!
And, this chastised tyrant considers himself to be the most professional cop on the force.
Jeff also Asked to be placed in handcuffs politely LOL
i noticed that the cop referred to his victim as "defiant", yet what he was, was truthful, knowledgeable, & sticking up for his rights.
There's no greater enemy to a cop than a person who is knowledgeable of the law, exercises their rights and, worse yet, does so with a camera.
The fact that these men have a firearm and have authority over our lives and don't even know BASIC laws they enforce, it's ridiculous..
And common
They DON'T have authority over our lives.
They are simply NOT the authority on anything. This and so many many many cases demonstrate that they are the opposite of an authority on the law, our rights and even their own policies.
Please stop calling our public servants "authorities".
"I'm one of the more professional people in this department" - That says a lot about this police department.
Imagine that...
Basically throws his whole department under the bus. Put the heat to these pigs and they crumble
As pigs usually do.
Still tripping over his ego. Pathetic.
That was my thought also. That investigator should have followed up on that statement.
It’s terrifying that he believes he’s one of the “most professional members of his department.”
Scary thought, isn't it? They probably all think that though.
Word.
Let's hope he's not the departments "Officer Friendly" that visits and "educates" young schoolchildren on his version of the law.
Did he just trash his co-workers?
How long has he been a cop and doesn’t know basic law ?,,,, he’s been violating peoples rights all of that time, tragic,
I love that he states "I violated every right he has" but later says "I'm probably one of the most professional officers in the department" What does that say about this department!?
Professional in that he's probably really polite while he's violating peoples rights. A lot of cops think being polite is the ultimate show of respect and dignity to us citizens. Too bad they're totally sh***ing on us at the same time.
THAT THEY ARE LIKE ALL OF THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS .
😂😂😂
He's honest at least. Honest about his ignorance, his violent attitude about our rights and the abysmal state of his department.
I reckon if he sorts out his obvious contempt for the homeless, and ceases his propensity to jump to conclusions with handcuffing and searching people for no reason, then he probably is better compared to so many other shouty, bullying bellends I've seen featured on this channel. The bar is incredibly low. He's still a horrible POS, but it's all relative.
Arrest the restaurant owner.
His copspeak is so strong, he still is saying legally detained, as if that is what he did. He still says he needed control and that exercising rights is resistive and combative and stuff like that. This cop is no better than he was on that day.
Zactly
Sorry Not Sorry attitude!
Yeah, that's the one thing he said that was clearly wishful thinking, that IS how he normally behaves. The only reason he thinks otherwise is that 99% of the people he intimidates surrender their ID and rights.
AMEN!!!!
@@somebodyelse6673 you nailed it!
I've watched these New Smyrna videos a lot. I grew up in The 407 as a kid lost every right i should have had by the hands of law enforcement. It gives me great satisfaction for accountability. Jeff you're the GOAT.
What's the 407?
@@briancohenthepfjmassive.4769 Orlando
Great job Jeff, thanks for helping hold our civil employees in check.
As of 3 months ago, he no longer works for Smyrna Beach PD... but, like all of these cases, he just moved on to another department in Edgewater, FL. Sickening. No real consequences.
Thanks for the update.
Thank you
Gypsy cop. It's got to stop.
Zero accountability
Disgusting
I can’t believe this officer had the audacity to say he was one of the most professional officers in his precinct. That’s scary.
Ha ha it is
What do you think happens to narcissists that get qualified immunity? He can do these things with no accountability.
You're the best until you are not. It's now on his permanent record! And he gets a life sentence on youtube!
Sadly maybe he is.
Scary and completely insane...
This officer learned something, whether he wanted to or not. Sometimes, personal accountability, and the embarrassment of doing it in front of your peers, is the best education you can ever get. It certainly burns itself into your brain.
Everyone hates looking like a fool.
he was one of the most professional officers in his precinct, god help us
..if he believes that he's one of the MOST PROFESSIONAL officers, then you can be sure he knows a lot of questionable stuff is going on by the "others"...
THIS IS WHY THEY SHOULD BE TREATED AS LEPPERS.....AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS .
Ignorance of the Law is NO EXCUSE. Especially when the Law Enforcement Officer can alter, or screw up your ENTIRE LIFE. 🇺🇸
U.S. v. Lee, 106 U.S. 196, 220 1 S. Ct. 240, 261, 27 L. Ed 171 (1882)
"No man in this country is so high that he is above the law. No officer of the law may set that law at defiance, with impunity. All the officers of the government, from the highest to the lowest, are creatures of the law are bound to obey it."
"It is the only supreme power in our system of government, and every man who, by accepting office participates in its functions, is only the more strongly bound to submit to that supremacy, and to observe the limitations which it imposes on the exercise of the authority which it gives."
Warnock v. Pecos County, Texas, 88 F3d 341 (5th Cir. 1996)
Eleventh Amendment does not protect state officials from claims for prospective relief when it is alleged that state officials acted in violation of federal law.
How can you enforce laws you don't even know, or worse, don't exist?
Also, in my view that "ignorance is no excuse..." is tyrannical BS. They could pass a law without hardly anyone knowing about it. The burden of proof should be on the State to prove that you knowingly violated a law.
The exceptions are those based on common law (and common sense). In other words, what a "reasonable person" would believe to be illegal. We can't be expected to study federal, state, county, and city laws (including those of the states, counties and cities we may be visiting or passing through)...AND the rules generated by the various gov't agencies.
Save the courts and prisons for thieves, kidnappers, sex offenders, and violent felons. For most offenses a citation and a reasonable fine would suffice.
Unfortunately that is not true for law enforcement. It is for us average blotes
Imagine a guy getting hired as a chef, showing up for work and his first order comes in. One medium rare Ny strip loin with a side of mushroom risotto etc etc.
Chef puts up a Caesar salad
Waitress: “Chef, this isn’t what I ordered”
Chef: “ya, I don’t know anything about how to make what you just ordered”.
That’s policing these days.
If cops actually knew the law it would be bad for business. They are just cochroaches of society. If there is no crime, they manufacture it.
When the police say "In this day and age", the response is "Do you mean, now that everyone has cameras, police can be held accountable". Without cameras, this interview would never have happened.
Exactly why the New York State Police have neither dash cameras nor body camera. Unaccountable.
Cameras are the best thing that ever happened to law enforcement...
Without cameras It would have been his words against 2 sworn officers.. I’m sure IA would take his word.. NOT!!😂😂😂
Or, "You mean in this day and age when police killing civilians is 10x higher than civilians killing police?"
@@corsairsofnarshaddaa a person is 9x higher to die at the hands of a police officer than a terrorist . Law enforcement is less dangerous occupation than a pizza delivery driver .
I could never go back to watching TV. This is ten times more entertaining.
I couldn't stop watching this .... Awesome work Jeff
This guy is a LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERT. How is it that the general public knows more about the law than him ??
Who said he was an "expert" ? in fact the reason they have "qualified immunity" is because they are not expected to be experts.
"How is it that the general public knows more about the law than him ??" You may know these rights/laws because you have been watching these 1AA videos but I doubt you really know any more than they do, at best. It takes lawyers years to become lawyers and even then they don't "Know" all the laws how could a cop know them with 6 months of training? After their boot camp training aka Police Academy, they should have to have an additional, at least one year, training of "Rights and Basic laws and their proper enforcement"
Like the investigator said, you have resources to look up possible infractions and laws and city codes, property lines.
Before they approached him they could have used these resources.
Ha ha ha ha for those last minutes blowing his own horn
"You violated every right he had." The Police are completely out of control and need more training and mandatory body cameras.
You can’t train stupid people ! Ever .
A rat always takes the bait.
THey are trained, but they have felt fearless to enforce their feelings and inferior egos. Then, a guy like Jeff comes along !!
I'm so tired of the training excuse.
Either they're trained or they're not.
If they're not, they shouldn't be out on the street.
If they're out on the street, someone certified them as sufficiently trained.
There ARE no untrained police on the street. Ever.
And we need to stop accepting that lame ass excuse.
This IA officer is a freakin Beast. No officer wants to sit across the table from this IA Officer. No officer. Period.
It's nice to see a genuine auditor for a change. Someone who is genuinely trying to improve the police, and I think that he has succeeded in that endeavour, on this occasion. What I see in this situation is a lack of training in what the laws actually are, and a lack of training in terms of understanding that the police are supposed to protect the rights of the homeless as well as local business owners. I know the homeless and other less advantaged members of the community don't always represent themselves in the best light, but it is their constitution too.
The officer's statement at 9:27 is EXACTLY why Jeff's work is so very valuable.
He trampled your rights and still tried to blame you for his actions that you happened to catch on film! What a fine officer!!!
Exactly! "I'm not who he's putting out there."
Exactly what I was thinking.
THANK YOU, Jeff for putting yourself in harms way to help everyone else. If not for brave people like you, this type of abuse of power would never be made public and these abusers would never be held accountable.
What he said ^
What he said ^
Jeff, do a sworn criminal affidavit agains this cop for kidnapping and sent it to all 12 members of the grand jury. Also send it to the DA, if the DA res fused to present to the grand jury, file a new criminal affidavit on the DA for shielding public officials from prosecution and send it to the grand jury as well.
@@tools4tyranny553 THE grand jury? I think I know what you mean (A grand jury) but you might want to explain.
@@pj6366 pretty cut and dry
Watching this for the 10th time. Grateful for your work Jeff. And glad that the department is doing the right thing by educating their force and providing transparency.
Thank you, Jeff. You are a valuable asset to the 1a audit movement, and maintaining all civil rights for all people. I, for one, am incredibly grateful for your efforts in this unfortunately, too often, naiveté of the public and law enforcement officials as well.
When I hear this officer say “I thought…” it just sickens me that these fools are allowed to run the streets uninformed and off their leash. Sad sad days.
armed... with authority to kill you for any or no reason.
Notice how meek and mild Mr. Big and Bad is now
I don't think anybody could have said it any better it's just sad this is what we're strapped with the public deserves better than these guys much better look how much they're getting paid over $100,000 three sergeants in a row didn't know that they could not arrest somebody for not ID that was simply under detention three in a row with each one of these guys had at least 5 7 8 10 years that should scare the public to death
They are not uniformed . It's all about inflated ego!
They have been coached to use that language to insulate themselves from responsibility.
The question that was omitted was "do you feel that your ego clouded your judgment in any way"? Thanks for all you do Jeff.
Yes please! Can they start asking that on each & every investigation too?? That's at the root of this. Also, mandatory counseling for any ego related issues because it will help them deal with their own shit instead of taking it out on citizens (innocent & guilty) !!
@YRP nope because they are cops and are supposed to be professional.
We need more of these videos to see and hear police officers being held accountable for conducting themselves according to the oath.
I lived in New Smyrna Beach for 10 years. I found the PD to be very professional. It’s too bad the training didn’t include this officer. Jeff Gray is doing a great service to us all!
"You violated every right he has." Damn.
I'm also still angry that the reporting party LIED. I think they should be held accountable, too.
Bingo. They're the kind who'd have ratted their neighbors out for harboring "Goldsteins" in their attic.
Oh don’t worry I’m sure Jeff is on that as well. The company’s insurance is about to pay him a pretty penny
You know the waitresses that claim he “threatened” them are 20 somethings who look at him hold a sign (that they don’t actually read) and think homeless guy - ick, so it’s ok to say he’s “threatening” when what they mean is he’s unattractive and looks homeless.
Leo is done. Hope he's fired
AXEL manager @ NSB brewery
That cop had NOTHING to constitutionally stand on to charge Jeff
I love this video. This is the transparency all incidents should have. Trust me when I say that cops fear this room more than a courtroom where they're a defendant...
The fact that he keeps admitting that he doesn't know that law, but is so willing to stop and hold someone for the laws he admittedly doesn't know just blows my mind.
But, but, but he said he's one of the most professional cops there, just ask the people who know him-- Lmao!
What blows it more is the fact they get off with a warning worse case put on paid administrative leave which is paid vacation time at the taxpayers expense they fail to understand they are employed by WE!! The people not the city but it's citizens to protect and serve our communities they fail to understand that they are employed my us the people therfore we have every right to question them or they're authority. But they think instead of being public servants to the law they think they are the law the law most seem to know so very little about every stop by a police officer in this nation is s violation of peoples constitutional rights reasonable articulate suspicion means what reasonable holding a sign saying God bless homeless veterans on a public street does not at all institute R.A.S at all # 1 issues is police immunity something they should absolutely not have but to be treated as would any other citizen than maybe they will stop the bullshit domestic terrorism that they are constantly committing against society and citizens of this nation but this generation is to afraid they may offend citizens.of another continent we should put our feelings our citizens our culture in our own nation about that of all others as does every other nation but the us they have taken our freedom liberties and given them to people who hold on to theyrr customs when in theyre County Muslims expect you not to eat or smoke in public during Ramadan when im.a chirstian tourists so people here should learn that our citizens culture is not gonna be put aside for the sake of they're feelings say what you will but America was founded as a chirstian nation now however the word God or jesus is offensive to non American citizens our freedom of religion is and speech is gone because this generation is so worried about hurting others feelings well the greatest generation WW2 didn't say we are gonna let eveyone kill us because we don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings thats why i guess they are called the greatest generation this one is spineless cowardly and weak weak weak
He knew the law. He was butthurt
He only says he doesn't know so that he doesn't lose his Qualified Immunity
@@geraldgroomes5527 That says a lot about the others; doesn't it?
“You violated every right he had”. Not what the Lt. at PSB wanted to hear.
Lololol i loved that
Jeff l fallow all you videos, I thank you for what you do for our rights…And may God bless you.
I believe Beatty will violate again. He is totally dependent on his misunderstanding. He said he's the more professional person in the whole department. Wow!
Evidently it’s not a very high bar to clear.
I don’t think Beatty has a high enough IQ to be a police officer. He has no idea what the constitution is.
I’m also impressed by the fact (assuming it’s true) that he openly admitted that his Sergeant immediately stated “you basically violated ever right he has.” So someone in this department is at the least aware of the law.
And I remember a wise Man once said.
" Yoou Dummmmy ! "
This is a perfect illustration. Of that
Statement.
I have personally been told that ignorance of the law is not a excuse to break the law. Are y' all believing this A ' Hole is saying , LIES , LIES, LIES. HOLD EM ACCOUNTABLE !!

Glad you and Elizabeth. Are finally together.
Every American must appreciate how important this video is - one of most crucial videos in the history of policing in this country. But still Officer Beatty insists Jeff was being "argumentative and defiant" and was "resisting (arrest) without violence" - he still doesn't understand the actual mechanics of basic law and actually still blames/gaslights Jeff for his own willful incompetence...stunning. Jeff proved yet again that his is a living legend.
Cops are absolute magicians at this. They will show you a video, and then look you right in the face and tell you that you didn't see what you just saw.
These are NOT the droids you're looking for.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed that. This officer doesn't have a clue what "resisting without violence" actually is. Not cooperating with your investigation isn't resisting. You would have to lay on the ground or something similar to prevent an officer from handcuffing when they legally had the right to do so in order to be resisting without violence.
Should definitely have your union representative with you 😆
@@bommer22 I agree. I caught that & was really hoping the lawyer (or was he an IA investigator?) would then explain "resisting" to him as well. I think he definitely needs more training in this area. They just call anything they don't like "not cooperating" or "resisting" & that's just BS piling on for their own failures. Let's review:
1) failure to properly communicate with initial officer on scene
2) failure to know the law in that panhandling isn't a crime
3) failure to speak to complainant inside the business to reduce friction with Mr Grey
4) failure to heed the warnings of Mr Grey that his rights were being violated -be aware cops, auditors know their rights!
5) failure due to unlawful detainment
6) failure due to unlawful search & seizure of firearm
7) failure to confirm panhandling on public property was a crime
8) failure due to arrest threats for "not cooperating" & "resisting" Citizens have NO requirement to assist you in an investigation of themselves!
But he wants people to believe this incident isn't indicative of his work. See, HERE'S THE DEAL, if we can't trust you on a minor panhandling call to be able to handle that level of an issue legally & with honor how the hell can we trust you to handle or investigate a serious crime or issue? You have no credibility!!!
The scariest thing that this bad cop said, and I think that he was telling the truth, is that he's probably one of the more professional people in the department.
All police should have to watch this.
He doesn't look happy.
He can rest assured that this video will be available to family & friends 24/7 - FOREVER.
Steroids make people angry.
THIS is why auditing is so vitally needed in this country!!
Yes, Yes, Yes.
ABSOLUTELY World Wide
Professional auditing is definitely a skill set... Honour Your Oath, Long Island Audit and only a handful of others seem to do audits of this sort, I think the abusive profanity filled types of audits are NOT the way to do it unless all you want is click bait and zero chance of effecting real change and bridging the gap between the community and police... As an outsider looking in on the whole Audit movement this is my 2 cents worth!
Auditing doesn't include taunting police officers during traffic stops.
These videos have proven to be priceless in fighting corrupt and ignorant police actions Show as many on all media as possible you are making a difference
This LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER is completely IGNORANT of the law. He needs to be immediately terminated.
In other words deputy,,,from now on, make sure the person doesn't know his rights before you ATTACK, if you don't it'll cost us !
1 he didn't investigate the scene correctly!
2 he let his ego get him into a civil rights sh1tstorm
3 he trampled all over your 2nd and 4th amendment!
Great update on this case Jeff your professionalism and courage to put your freedom and safety out there to be a Constitution activist is awesome. Thank you for what you do for all of us Americans!
What audit is this from
Or the 1A, took his sign while investigating and detaining, thus restricting his speech
@datcrazymongoose Actually, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and possibly 6th. Not sure why I said 12th before. That is for electoral vote majority.
This is why our auditors are a national treasure. These folks are doing more for our freedoms than any sitting politician in the last 30 years! God bless you and thank you for your service!

Just 30 years? 🤔
Agreed 100%
I was only half listening to this as I had watched several other officers give their depositions on this Jeff Gray case. I was almost done with it when my head nearly snapped off. I went back and listent to it twice more in amazement. This litte dude is a BIG LIABI
LIABILITY to this town. He honestly doesn't beleive he has done anything wrong. I took notes covering a whole leagl pad paige.
"Ignorant of the law is no excuse." .... Except for cops!
"I'm probably one of the more professional people in this department." Well, that may very well be true, and that may very well be the problem. If he would take half the time he spends in the weight room and put that time in the law library, he might have done better in this incident. Maybe that can be his big take away.
I was floored when he SAID that!!! What an ego he has about himself!!! I REALLY hope he's no longer on the force!!!! But I know he probably is, probably just got a write up in his file & back out there doing same shit!!! Qualified immunity NEEDS to be GONE so they can personally be sued & have it attached to THEIR pensions!!!! Maybe, just maybe, then this tyrannical behavior will cease!!!!
Steroids. He Aint ever seen a Gym
I love the follow up of this channel. Thanks Jeff, well done as always. I think I have followed you for 7 years. You were one of the first if not the first A1 auditors I have seen. Thanks for everything, what you do is a real public service.
Same here! Few have come close to the impact he has made. I don't watch tv show reruns, I watch HYOCRI reruns!
You know. I sorta felt sorry for this officer and I know how he feels. Same time when you watch the video, the contempt they had for someone just saying “God bless the Homless Veterans” is unforgivable. As a vet myself and also have been homeless. I hope they (the police) read these comments. Shame on y’all.

There are never consequences for frivolous calls to the cops.
They come across as angels with IA but are super aggressive when meeting any, as he says, defiance. They say I’m done playing games and go hands on.
"Beatty" saying he doesn't do this at all, except for this one time, means he hasn't been caught out before.
This is such an incredible win for the auditing community and Americans! Thank you, Jeff!! 🇺🇸
Even though you're missing a few VERY IMPORTANT letters, I agree.
"because at the time I thought it was a crime"... "because at the time I thought we had a crime"... just imagine how many thousands of other interactions this officer has had in his career with the same flawed knowledge and only until now has it become a problem, because someone had a camera to prove it, rarely is our word ever good enough.
@@grumpyoldman3597 he is using the wording "because at the time I thought it was a crime" to maintain his qualified immunity in a lawsuit. This was a coached, rehearsed interview. By saying he didnt know what he was doing at the time was wrong, the court will rule that he personally gets to keep his immunity, and that Jeff can sue the city and police force, but not the cop individually.
@@letsgobrandon7567 That is this mofu always get away with things like this!!
america is a corporation,don't be apart of if .
The Constitution is for those who want a Ruling Class. Individual Rights is for those who want actual freedoms.
Tax = Compulsory = Coercion = Extortion = Theft
Myth #1: “Representative Government”
Disproof: Someone who actually represents you-who acts on your behalf-would only have the right to do things which you have the right to do yourself. Those in "government" pretend to have the right to do countless things that you yourself have no right to do, while (bizarrely) claiming that you gave them that right. Also, one who actually represented you obviously would not have the right to boss you around and demand money from you under threat of caging you if you disobey or resist-a right those in power claim to have.
Myth #2: “Consent of the Governed”
Disproof: To “consent” means to voluntarily agree to something. To “govern” means to coercively control. The two are mutually exclusive. The term “consent of the governed” therefore makes no more sense than “voluntary slave.” Additionally, someone else obviously cannot “consent” on your behalf for you to be enslaved. If you didn’t individually, specifically and freely agree to something yourself, that is not consent.
Myth #3: “Voting Constitutes Consent”
Disproof: Being given the choice of which individual or gang will forcibly extort and dominate you (with "none of the above" not being an option) does not mean that you are free, and does not mean that you agreed to be robbed and controlled.
Myth #4: “We Gave Them Their Power”
Disproof: There is no ritual or document through which any number of people can delegate to others rights that none of them had to begin with. For example, ten people who have no right to commit murder cannot give to someone else the right to commit murder. Therefore, if those in power have rights that you don’t, they obviously didn’t get such rights from you.
Myth #5: “Democracy is Freedom”
Disproof: Gang rape is democracy in action-a majority forcing its will on a minority. Even if political elections actually represented the will of the majority (which they don’t), democracy would be inherently violent, immoral and illegitimate. Political voting is always about a majority forcing its will on a minority. Even if theoretically that left the majority in freedom (which it never actually does), obviously the minority would not be free.
Myth #6: “Constitutional Republics are Good”
Disproof: The Soviet Union, Communist China, North Korea, and the Weimar Republic (which gave rise to Nazi Germany) are/were all democratically-elected constitutional republics, each with its own version of a “bill of rights.” (The constitutions of all of them are easy to find online.) Democratically-elected constitutional republics have been the most destructive, murderous institutions in the history of the world.
Myth #7: “Servant Government”
Disproof: If there is a group of people that tells you what to do, demands money from you, and hurts you if you do not comply-and that is always what "government" is and does-then it is not your servant; it is your master.
Myth #8: “You Agree to This By Living Here”
Disproof: The so-called “social contract” argument says that by merely living within the territorial jurisdiction of a certain ruling class, one has “agreed” to live by whatever rules those in power decide to call “law.” An actual contract is a specific and explicit mutual agreement. It is absurd to call it a “contract” when one side can arbitrarily decide what counts as the other side “agreeing” to abide by certain terms. To claim otherwise is to argue that it would be valid and correct for any street gang or Mafia to simply say, “By being in whatever area we claim as our turf, you agree to let us do whatever we want to you.”
Myth #9: “The Land of the Free”
Disproof: The place known as the United States is far less free today than it was even under the control of a monarch. The list of grievances against King George III spelled out in the Declaration of Independence are trivial compared to what is inflicted on the American people every day by their "own" government. The United States is not the most free country, economically or socially. Various detailed analysis of such things can easily be found online. More importantly, the equivalent of asking whose master is the least sadistic and domineering-which one whips his slaves the least, and doesn’t work them as hard-is not a measure of “freedom.” No slaves are free. Likewise, comparing the relative oppressiveness of various ruling classes is not a measure of freedom. There is no such thing as a “free country,” since the word “country” means the territorial jurisdiction under the control of a coercive ruling class.
Myth #10: “We Are the Government”
Disproof: This claim is patently false on its face. It is the equivalent of a car-jacking victim saying “I am the car-jacker.” If one is really unable to distinguish between, on the one hand, himself, and on the other hand, the group of people who demand tribute and obedience from him under threat of force, such a person is quite literally delusional.
Myth #11: “The Law of the Land”
Disproof: The literal reality is that what people are taught to view as “the law” does not come from “the will of the people,” or from “the land,” or from any other vague, abstract source. “Law”-meaning man-made legislation-is nothing more than official demands and commands, backed by the explicit threat of force, issued by the politicians who make up political bodies. The fact that others are allowed to petition, complain, and beg the politicians to enact different “laws” does not in any way mean that it is the people, or the “nation,” that are the source of such “laws.”
Myth #12: “The Rule of Law”
Disproof: It is a common refrain to say that Americans are lucky to live under the “rule of law” rather than the “rule of men.” However, since all such “laws” are simply threats and demands written and issued by human beings, it is a distinction without a difference.
Myth #13: “Due Process”
The idea that one must be provided with “due process” before one can be deprived of one’s liberty or property (as stated in the Fifth Amendment) is empty and meaningless when the “laws,” the procedures, the bureaucracies, the enforcers and the courts that decide such things
are all created and controlled by the same group that is depriving people of their liberty and property. This is no different than a street gang saying, “We have carefully reviewed our own actions and have determined that we had the right to steal your car, steal your wallet and beat
you up; we were merely enforcing the law, and you have received due process.”
Myth #14: “Government”
Yes, the very concept of “government” itself is bogus mythology. It amounts to believing in the Divine Right of Politicians-the notion that various pseudo-religious documents and rituals, such as constitutions and elections, can bestow upon a group of mere mortals the right to forcibly rule
everyone else. It is no more rational or legitimate than the old “Divine Right of Kings” concept; the modern version just uses more complicated and convoluted rhetoric and mythology-such as all of the examples addressed above-to make it sound legitimate, moral and necessary. But it is not, and that is quite easy to prove.

With all his resources at hand he was wanting to make a crime to get your ID and take you to jail. You Jeff are a blessing and thank you for sharing. God bless homeless Vets.
Yes they have been robbed ! They followed orders and got the short end of the stick, we never had a honest war ever sadly, would think they would be taken care of especially by the one's they went to war for ..
This happens to law abiding citizens all the time. Its time here in the USA to rethink our law enforcement procedures completely. No one should be allowed to become a government employee without knowing the law.
Wow. Good for you Jeff!! This was very satisfying to watch, as a citizen of the United States. I’m so tired of these police officers and their power trips. There’s a Lot of good and honest officers out there, but the bad ones have to be called out. Also, thank God for cameras because the days of these people violating our rights because they think they can will hopefully come to an end. God bless the auditors keeping the tyrants in check.
This has to go viral! How many of these interviews happen everyday and we just do not see them? God Bless Jeff for posting this! I can’t wait for James Freeman and James Madison and all the other greats to repost this! OUTSTANDING!!!!’
And Share to Twitter 🤓
That IA officer is a BEAST.
Don't forget Johnny 5.0! I'm rather surprised he didn't make a call. Recorded of course, for quality assurance.
"I don't handcuff people and detain them illegally" as he's in an interview for handcuffing and detaining someone illegally. I'm sure this isn't an isolated incident.
He still thinks he’s done nothing wrong!!, tragic
I was always told by my elders that "ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law ". They never told that doesn't apply to police officers.
"I'm one of the more professional people in this department"..............that is a very disconcerting thing to hear. Beatty is a menace and should NOT hold powers of arrest. I wouldn't want him to be a dog catcher. "I don't handcuff people and detain them illegally"..............Actually you do Beatty. The world has uncontroverted video proof that you indeed do!
It's actually refreshing to see IA openly share their investigation with you. It's one small step for the people, one giant leap for an open and transparent government entity.
Did they share it or was it obtained with a freedom of information Act request? I don't know; however, it's like pulling tiger teeth without anesthesia usually to get any transparency which is why Amendment Audits are necessary .
its just refreshing to see an IA doing their job for once. Tolerating bad cops and bad behavior is what erodes the trust of the public faster than anything.
They didn't share anything, he forced them legally to provide it....also...nothing will come of this officer...he will be "retrained"...he may get a settlement but the officer will have learned nothing
@@markonw6661 it's how the enlightened work. Education is punishment.
Punishment being they can only think the way they are educated.
This one is military, he's been "punished good"
@@markonw6661 I love how LEO say they were baited when the citizen was minding his own business and was approached by them. He told them what he was doing (didn't have to) and it should have ended there. And it was a bait, why did they bite?
Beatty lied flat out. His said he asked for ID as he thought that a crime had been committed. On Jeff's video he said he said he simply had the right to ask for ID because they were called to investigate. He didn't say anything about threats of servers or anything of the sort. Then he says they detained him to get him to the side of the road. On video he was detained for not identifying.
And threatened with arrest if he didn’t identify
I love watching LEO under question and pressure. I’ve had to serve on jury duty once. It’s a good learning experience and one you should not turn down
16:54 " He immediately said, You violated every right he has " good on the Sgt for calling that cop out at least.
My favorite part!
His final statement contradicts any regret he had. “I don’t detain people for no reason.” Uhhh… yes, you do, that is why we’re here.
The best part of this interview is the fact that he has to sit through this line of questioning in the first place. This video will be forever out there for everyone to see. That includes his family, his friends, his peers, his supervisors and anyone else wanting to see a cop being held accountable. His answers for the most part were still vague in some respects and his “recollection” for a good portion of this was self serving. His knowledge of the law ~ even in this matter ~ is still lacking merit.
This guy needs to resign or be fired fro gross incompetence.
Yup, egomaniac couldn't resist the chance to flex his muscle... He could of just drove by, but he had to go and make himself infamous on the internet. Looks like his ego took quite a dent, thats good for him though. He needed it.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse!!!!
IMO he still doesn’t get. It’s all totally lost on him.
Love this. ignorance of the law is no excuse, time for some payback
The mind blowing things is none of this would be possible if it were not for body cameras. Assuming this officer did indeed learn from the experience, recognizes his mistake, and acknowledges/understands the correct letter and spirit of the law, he should be kept on the job as a counterbalancing force against inevasible future mistakes and overreach by his peers.
It is shocking & terrifying how little these cops actually know about the laws they are attempting to enforce. There were numerous points where the cop himself admitted that he was completely wrong.
"What I should have done, was investigate that first" Instead, you attacked an innocent man and not the false police report, and it may cost you your job!
Great job Jeff. You are educating the police!
After the fact they always say I should of done this, I should of investigated that, when in reality they always do whatever is easiest to do at the time, because they're lazy.
@@craigking3018 amazing how many chances these taxpayer funded tyrants receive. Imagine working in the private sector displaying the same actions and retaining your job and benefits. It’s amazing what the American taxpayer funds and most do so without question or pause.
@@Deerrus in fact, workers in the private sector often act in contravention of law, public policy, corporate rules, and broadly accepted norms of decorum without any penalty. of course, the difference is that workers in the private sector can't act under color of law and aren't armed to the teeth. in this particular incident, note that the business owner falsely reported to the police that mr. gray was asking for money. yet it appears that the police never even contemplated charging on that basis, notwithstanding that false reporting -- unlike panhandling -- is most assuredly a crime.
isn't it funny that hind sight is always 20/20 vision... Police should try telling that to the victim they just violated!!! I bet that would not even get them a cup of coffee in a diner!!!
“He knew that, I didn’t”. Pretty much sums it up. An ordinary citizen knows the law better than a senior officer.
I don’t think I’d call Jeff an “ordinary citizen.”
@@NPCHSN Settle for an "Extraordinary Citizen"?
After watching I think he legitimately owned up to his mistake...unlike so many other incidents where real violence occurs and the Dept. Covers, the officer laughs it off and no justice ever gets done. This guy seems to understand he made a serious error of judgement. This is a case where it seems the Dept. is acting in good faith. Some sort of reprimand, Constitutional Training and Formal Written Apology seems in order. Although we do see so many cases of true abuse, I think we own it to our own Civil rights to praise Dept. and Officers who do own up to their mistakes. This will help shame the ones that don't.
At 17:30 he says he still doesn't know what rights were violated. It was the 1st, 2nd, 4th,and 5th. Thank God he didn't have the power to move federal troops into your house, if he did have that power I am pretty sure he would have went 5 for 5.
“He pulled refrigerator magnets out of his pocket”. Lmfao.. that’s classic!!
It was amazing.
🤦♂️
....and I felt threatened...!!
Got what he asked for and whines about it.
b and s i think
Imagine standing up for your rights because you know the law. And LEO suddenly puts you into category of resisting without violence and defiant because own ignorance of the laws he swore to protect. Awesome video cheers.
We don’t have to imagine it, thanks to Jeff here it is.
Happens all the time
Pigs need to be in school of law more 6 months study training
Everytime I read a comment like yours it reminds me of that picture with a cop landing a punch on someone off view with his patrol car that has written "To protect and serve" on it and the cop has dialogue bubble "Let me protect and serve the shit out of you!".
It's ironic kinda funny in a twisted way but most importantly - scary that it's actually real.
How is it possible that every officer has no Idea about ID laws. It’s totally crazy
The way he is looking around is as he's looking for a way out.
As cops say to us all the time. "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" Well, why is this cop not been fired and jailed for his breaking of the law?
Because cops are the only ones who are allowed to claim ignorance of the law. However, if they are made aware which rights they are violating and then continue to violate them they open themselves up to lose their qualified immunity and can be sued in civil court.
Bingo
cops are held to a lower standard of law. Just as the interviewer said, “Anything you say CANNOT be held against you in a court of law.” Sounds like a free pass to me.
We need him to protect us they can make a few mistakes not big deal
@@DR.DisInfect understand your point, but in my opinion he should be fired and replaced.
"You were already diving in his pockets". The cop got a bit of a stunned look on his face with that one. He realized the interviewer is NOT on his side.
He seems to have a humble attitude about the situation! I don’t think there’s a problem there! I’ve seen police officers with bad attitudes and he isn’t one of them! Sounds like the officer is receiving the correction humbly!
WOW. ONLY REASON HE ADMITTED THIS IS CAUSE IT WAS RECORDED. WE THE PEOPLE MUST HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!!!!!
All I'm hearing from this officer is " I thought, I thought " Ignorance of the law by a citzen will get you put in a cage. On the flip side of the coin ignorance of law will get you more training.
You are an optimist
This video is pure gold! This cop just sticks his foot in his mouth consistently. Thank you Mr. Gray for protecting our rights and holding these asshats accountable 🙏🏽🙏🏽
They gave him his garrity warning and he still lied saying mr gray didn’t tell him of his gun permit since the beginning he only sorry he got caught😂
The officer performing the interview sounds like Ronny Cox who played Lt. Bogomil in Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy. Dead ringer for him. Ronny Cox was one of those guys you'd see in a ton of movies and always think, that guy is good. He was in Robocop, Deliverance, Beverly Hills Cop, Total Recall and a ton of other movies.
This interviewer is very good, gives good education, and helps the officers see their mistakes and how to correct or do better.
Do better? They should be writing checks to the abused party.
Wow. The ONE day that this officer messes up and violates a citizen's rights because he doesn't know the law is the very same day that Jeff Gray happens to film him doing so. Oh, the irony! And he keeps referring to Jeff as 'defiant' and 'aggressively defiant'. Not only does this officer need to brush up on the law he's supposed to defend, he also needs to gain some comprehension skills about the actual meaning of words.
"Aggressively defiant" means failing to bow down and kiss his ass. The cop had no clue as to whom he was messing with. He does now. LMAO
Another shameless ignoramus.
Education and intelligence requirements need desperately to be raised in the hiring of these
" public servants".
Any humanity they may have should be fully examined and forbidden to be checked at the gate of Training Camp in their efforts to ensure graduation.
They recruit cops with no comprehension skills.
@@johntuohy1867 The idiot guy at the bar bore false witness. _He_ should have gone to jail. But, it seems that even 911 callers who lie have qualified immunity...especially if they call on an auditor.
The thing the officer is trying to sell is that he had probable cause to detain or arrest for Florida's Contempt of Cop statute called "Resisting without violence"... He is hoping that if he has "Arguable probable cause".. He will be shielded from liability for his actions.... i.e. He is trying to set up his qualified immunity defense
Congrats Jeff. There are almost 800k police officers in the US. I imagine this is one of the first times any of them have been asked to explain why they detained someone.
God bless cameras. God bless auditors. I think that a lot of cops will see this and it will have an effect. We can already see some audits where nothing happens and cops smile and shake hands. As it should be.
I'd like to point out... while Jeff IS one of the first auditors on YT... it's a bit disrespectful to act like he's the ONLY auditor on YT, that takes their job seriously. Soloyaker, and his channel Armed Fisherman, also have put up their depositions. I'd say Solo's depositions are MORE important to the movement than Jeff's.
All auditors that share depositions help the cause. So let's remember, there's more than just Jeff.
@@m4rvinmartian
Jeff doesn't "Act" like it's him singlely. What are you talking about STUPID
@@m4rvinmartian Solo Yaker doing the questioning was awesome!
@Marvin, The Armed Fisherman's deposition was on the second Amendment. Jeff deposition was on the1st Amendment. How is one more important than the other s????
Can you think of any licensed professionals ie. Plumbers electricians nurses etc. admitting they didnt know the rules, codes, and laws governing their jobs? No only cops.
Dude, this is way better than a court hearing 2 years from now. These road pirates must be held accountable period!
Did you vote in you last local election? If your local police are out of line and not held accountable, did you elect new mayor/sheriff to replace the politician not demanding accountability from the agencies they’re in charge of? Not too busy with political agenda and trying to look
“diverse” rather than competent? Not instituting policies that are intended to pursue justice and serve the community in. It’s best interest and not allowing ego, attitude, or lacking motivation to lead officers to shortcuts or allowing a toxic culture within the agency to persist which treats the public like their shitbag criminal enemy… always assume guilt and bad intentions and treat them as such. Did you have to replace District attorney/prosecutor, judges to put someone in there not wasting time and betraying the public for political reasons…not granting qualified immunity to every cop no matter the circumstances…refusing to prosecute accused police misconduct?
As I once heard a Judge say..... "Ignorance of the law is no excuse"
Bye bye 401K
EXACTLY 💯 & THEY are to be held to a HIGHER expectation!!!!!!
But for cops it is an excuse, they have qualified immunity.
That speaks volumes about the department if your one of the more professional officers,
The department leadership has to take some responsibility for their lack of training on the first amendment and the fourth amendment with their underlings training and knowledge about CIVIL RIGHTS.
You have to love how women will throw out the damsel in distress card when they are annoyed by a man. "She felt threatened" by a guy holding a sign.
Wow, this cop is not just a tyrant, but a liar as well. Forget about firing, he should be prosecuted federally for deprivation of rights and locally for lying under oath. This guy is not an actual human.
And what do you believe he is lying about? Second, if he isn't an "actual human" you can't prosecute him. Duh.
@@billpii6314 if he isn’t an actual human, he’s an animal, thus he can be put down
Lighten up, Francis.
I think he is pretending to be ignorant as well. He wants his Qualified Impunity. Yes, I spelled it that way on purpose.
No union rep? He’s done!
Mr. Grey the original OG!!
If he's among the "most professional " people in that department, I would be afraid to visit that town.
I strongly believe that the root cause of having so many legally uneducated police officers in the United-States comes from the fact that there is too many provisions and legal protection accorded to cops that acts as a barrier to accountability. It takes someone who does it professionally and therefore have the time to put into that mess to remind them that we have rights.. If you overprotect someone, they don't develop into a better person and certainly not into something that society wishes to live with.
If he's one of the more professional officers in the department just imagine what the rest are like.
He was very polite even if he was wrong
